Participants With Disabilities

If you have a bladder or bowel condition, a Just Can’t Wait Toilet Card explains you have a medical condition and need urgent access to a toilet. If you have the card handy, you can show it to whoever is at the front of the queue. The card is issued by the Bladder and Bowel Community and can be downloaded for free. From that page, you can also purchase a plastic card. There are also bladder pads at the event Information Points and Drinks Stations. 

You can collect a bib to go on your back at the Disability Information Point at the 2026 TCS London Marathon Running Show from Wednesday 22 to Saturday 25 April at the ExCeL London. You can also collect a high vis vest if you’re a guide or support runner.

Before Tower Bridge at Mile 13, there is a disability welfare hub where you can rest or get assistance.   

There is a Sensory Calm Space in the finish area, for anyone who wants to take a moment away from the crowds, as well as a Multi-Faith Prayer Space.  

There are RevoLOOtion Mobiloos at the start and finish. These have a hoist and adjustable changing table. These toilets and changing facilities are manned and are available for disabled participants. Accessible toilets can also be found at Miles 1 and 2 and then every even mile – i.e. Miles 4, 6, 8 and so on – until Mile 24. There are also bladder pads, tampons and sanitary towels available at the Information Points and Drinks Stations. 

If you are visually impaired or your disability or medical condition means you need a Support Runner, you can apply for a free place for them. Please contact the London Marathon accessibility team on accessibility@londonmarathonevents.co.uk outlining your requests and your reasons for needing a support runner.  

If you would like a Support Runner, The Richard Whitehead Supported Runners Project can pair you with someone for Event Day. You can register your interest on their site. England Athletics also has great information about finding a support runner on their site.
